"If you're a Team Rocket fan (let's see, look at my name..)you should get this CD. Even if you don't know a single word of Japanese, it's great. No Ash-tachi here, it's all Team Rocket! It's a single and it has 5 songs on it. It's a mini-disc, so it's 1/2 the size of a normal CD, but you should still be able to listen to it in a CD player. "Rocket Dan yo Eien ni" is first, and I believe the literal translation is "Rocket Gang Forever". It's Kojiro, Musashi, and Nyase singing, and it's kind of a pop/rock song. They speak of how they always blast off and about halfway through they go into their motto. "Lucky Lucky" is also pop/rock and is sung by Kojiro, and it speaks of how he met a girl in a club. It's very punny, as they keep mentioning Pokémon names all throughout it. "Nyasu no Uta" is Nyase's solo. In America they had a shortened version of it in the episode of the anime "Go West Young Meowth". The other two tracks are karaoke versions of "Rocket Dan yo Eien ni" and "Nyasu no Uta". If you're a casual anime fan or a full blown otaku, it dosen't make a difference, you should still get this CD. =^o^= Nya!For those who don't know Japanese--tachi is a suffix, it basically means "Ash and his friends".Kojiro is James. Musashi is Jessie. Nyase (or Nyasuu or Nyarth) is Meowth. An Otaku is an anime fan. Anime is Japanese animation.I hope this was helpful for you!"

"If you're a Team Rocket fan, then this CD is a must have. This CD is a single that contains 5 tracks sung entirely by Team Rocket. "Rocket Dan yo Eien ni" is a rock song sung by Jessie, James and Meowth. "Lucky Lucky" is also a pop/rock song sung solo by James. "Nyasu no Uta" is a love song, also sung solo, by Meowth. The other two tracks consist of "Rocket Dan yo Eien ni" and "Nyasu no Uta" in their instrumental or "karaoke" format. If you love Team Rocket or Pokémon, you'll love this CD."

Japan shows how it should be done

"This CD single features songs from the Japanese series of Pokemon, about Team Rocket. The first one is "Roketto Dan Yo Eien Ni" which is the Team Rocket Theme Song, sung by the whole gang (Jessie, James and Meowth). A shortened version of this song was sung in the American series in the "Song Of Jigglypuff" episode. The next track is "Rakki Rakki" (Lucky Lucky) which is completely bonkers. Its` a song sung by Kojiro (James) and its` about how he met a girl in a club, with lots of little puns (the Japanese Pokemon names) throughout. This song is weird, but quite funny.The last track is called "Nyasu no Uta" (Meowth`s Song), and despite not understanding the lyrics because its` in Japanese, I really like this track. Its` a gentle ballad where Meowth sings about his love for Meowzie, the female Meowth. I think this song has more emotion in Japanese than English, making for a much better song.The next two tracks are instrumental versions of "Roketto Dan Yo Eien Ni" and "Nyasu no Uta". Even if you can`t understand the language, I recommend this CD if you`re a Pokemon fan, as it has some very good music (which is not at all "kiddy") that also captures the overall mood of the show well - a lesson the series` US producers could learn when putting their soundtracks together."
